KANSAS CITY, Mo. -

The Kansas Department of Corrections says all four inmates who escaped from the Ottawa County, Kan., Jail are back in custody.

Santos M. Carrera-Morales, another one of the four inmates who escaped Wednesday, was apprehended late Thursday night in Russell, Kan. He had been serving time for a murder conviction.

The four men escaped from the county jail in Minneapolis, Kan. early Wednesday morning. The inmates were among several who had been transferred from the Ellsworth Correctional Facility in January to help alleviate the prison's overcrowding

One inmate was taken into custody shortly after the jail break.

A second inmate, Drew Wade, 21, was taken into custody in North Platte, Neb. Wednesday evening.
